Hello,
I am experiencing the behaviour of the KAT indexing engine to fail on Java,
IDL, and similar Files. I would assume that KAT treats such files as plain
texts files.
Aditionally, the Kat engine seems to fail on binary files, e.g. some
proprietary file of a business simulation which does unfortunately not use a
specific file extension.
I started the KDED from the console to get the output of the KAT daemon, but
the only warning or error message I got is:

"KFileMetaInfo: WARNING: KTxtPlugin was created for text/x-makefile but
doesn't call addMimeTypeInfo for it!"

Otherwise KAT simply stopped indexing.

Currently I try to avoid this behaviour by excluding the files by a regular
expression:
'.*\.java|.*\.class|.*\.cpp|.*\.idl|.*\.c|.*\.h|.*\.exe|.*\.bat'
But with very little success, I am not able to index my files at all.
The KAT version is 0.6.4. on a Gentoo system.
Is there any why to convince Kat not to touch unknown (to Kat) binary files
and to succeed on the Text files?

Cheers,

Guido
